As above, when you’re both a col­lec­tor and a pro­gram­mer, strange things could happen. I’m a beer coaster col­lec­tor and my col­lec­tion now reached 250+ unique items so it became a bit a mess to keep that well organized.

So that’s why a devel­oped Beer­Coaster man­ager. Yes, I done a pro­gram that help me to keep my col­lec­tion orga­nized. It is still a bit rudi­men­tary but does its job pretty well. So, if you’re a beer coaster col­lec­tor like me, you’ll found this useful.

It’s writ­ten in Python and uses sqlite as data­base to store it’s infor­ma­tions, so it is portable across var­i­ous plat­forms (i.e.: you can copy & paste your files from Linux to Win­dows and it will keep working).

Cur­rently, it can be down­loaded only by SVN and it is every­thing but stable. I hope to release some­thing good within the end of year.

Get­ting it work­ing under Win­dows, cur­rently, is really hard: for the final releases, though, I should pro­vide a Win­dows installer.
